UCLA Football Recruiting: RB Deshun Murrell Signs with Bruins

The Bruins were able to pick up one more signee before the end of the Early Signing Period and his name is a familiar one.

UCLA Football Recruiting: RB Deshun Murrell Signs with Bruins

Back in June, the Bruins picked up a commitment from Bibb County, Alabama running back Deshun Murrell. This looked to potentially have a big impact on the future of UCLA football as Murrell looks to be a big, strong back who could be an every down runner for the Bruins.

But, then, right before Thanksgiving, Murrell tweeted out that he was re-opening his recruitment.

Well, he did say that UCLA was remaining among his top choices and, when it came time for Murrell to sign with a school on Friday, the final day of the Early Signing Period, Murrell reaffirmed his original decision and signed his National Letter of Intent with the Bruins.

Play for the name on the front of the jersey, and they’ll remember the one on the back. #NSD21 #UCLA

Video of Deshun’s signing ceremony can be found on his Instagram account. Of course, we would be remiss if we didn’t share his original commitment video, just because it was so cool.

I have a feeling there is going to be A LOT of transfer movement, both incoming and outgoing. Would be great if we could get a post on the rumors!
